- Yeesh, this "merits of models" thing is ridiculous.
-
- "Unrealistic objectification"? OF COURSE! Calendar models are chosen because they're essentially healthy... prime physical specimens of humanity.
- No, they're not average people... who wants pictures of fat slovenly average
- people on their wall? Save that for the sociology textbooks. Unless that's
- what you're into, then you can certainly go out in the street and take some
- pictures yourself. Why bother when you see 'em every day?
-
- Would you rather have on your wall some great piece of art or a piece of crap
- you dug out of the trashcan by a "slow" 4th grader in art class who'd been
- daydreaming about recess while he was gluing cotton balls to a picture of
- a sheep? Hmm... maybe a picture of a sheep is a bad example, but you get
- the idea.
-
- Some people make better models and some people are better off writing books...
- more power to all of 'em, I say.
-
- Then, of course, there's the masturbation angle.
